IDF: Intel parades Prescott P4
Intel is to introduce hyperthreading to the desktop next year with Prescott, the codename for the next major iteration of desktop class Pentium 4s.
Prescott is slated to ship in volume the second half of 2003 and is to be built using the as-yet-unintroduced 90nm manufacturing process, Intel veep Louis Burns revealed today at The Intel Developers Forum (IDF). Intel is working with the software industry to ensure that apps are available to take advantage of hyperthreading when Prescott is introduced.
The "base platform" for Prescott will incorporate integrated wireless networking, gigabit ethernet, USB 2.0 and serial ATA 133. Prescott will see Intel also "continue to drive to integrated graphics, Burns says. However, he was not in aggressive mode - the company wants to work closely with discrete graphics partners.
